Subject: [PATCH 4.18 097/235] PCI/AER: Honor "pcie_ports=native" even if HEST sets FIRMWARE_FIRST

4.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alexandru Gagniuc <mr.nuke.me@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 7af02fcd84c16801958936f88b848944c726ca07 ]

According to the documentation, "pcie_ports=native", linux should use
native AER and DPC services.  While that is true for the _OSC method
parsing, this is not the only place that is checked.  Should the HEST
list PCIe ports as firmware-first, linux will not use native services.

This happens because aer_acpi_firmware_first() doesn't take 'pcie_ports'
into account.  This is wrong.  DPC uses the same logic when it decides
whether to load or not, so fixing this also fixes DPC not loading.
